Never mind, Paul, it would appear you might have other things on your plate right now.

When compared, Labour's manifesto is potentially the most harmful to queer people. Four tiny little paragraphs, three of them setting out their deadly segregation policies.

Tagging @paulsweeney.bsky.social, my local candidate, to ask how on earth you can back such a disgraceful, bigoted manifesto?

Keir Starmer hasn’t met a friend of a paedophile who he hasn’t immediately wanted to make an ambassador.

Ed Miliband telling his people that he’s going to be PM.

I feel Stonewall should be mass blocked on Bluesky.

Screen grab of a Tweet from Steven Swinford, reading: ***BREAKING*** Sir Keir Starmer considered giving Matthew Doyle an ambassadorship, Sir Olly Robbins reveals He says that in March 2025 Number 10 initiated discussions with him about finding an opportunity for Doyle, who was then the prime minister's director of communications He says he was under 'strict instructions' not to discuss it with David Lammy, the foreign secretary He said he found it hard to explain to colleagues what Doyle's credentials would be for a senior mission role. He says he felt uncomfortable about it and that it would have been hard to defend Doyle was elevated to the Lords. My colleague @Gabriel_Pogrund subsequently revealed that he publicly supported a sex offender after he had been charged

Screen grab of a Tweet from Steven Swinford, reading: Sir Keir Starmer tried to make his director of communications - who had publicly supported a paedophile - an ambassador, Olly Robbins revealed This is a problem for Starmer, to put it mildly. He was already under pressure over his eventual decision to elevate Matthew Doyle to the Lords It means that Keir Starmer attempted to appoint two men who had friendships with sex offenders as ambassadors. It comes back to the fundamental question of his judgement The fact that No 10 told Robbins not to inform David Lammy that he was considering an ambassadorship for Doyle is really quite something. Presumably No 10 inferred that Lammy would not appove of Doyle's appointment

I’ve moved the odds on Starmer resigning to 2/1.

I'm pretty sure Kezia comes from a well-intentioned place. And I'm all for good faith engagement with people whose minds have been poisoned against trans people. But this is madness: JK Rowling is a toxic sewer of hate, aligned with fascists, and it's unforgivable for Stonewall to praise her.

And yet there’s now a consistent majority of the UK public who want him to stand down. Whichever anecdotal evidence there is to the contrary, there’s actual UK wide polling to show people do in fact want another Prime Minister.

“People did not want yet another Prime Minister.”

🤷‍♂️

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

It’s so good and he’s so good, isn’t he?! After watching it I presumed he’d done musical theatre early in his career, but apparently he learned to sing for that film.

Dave Chappelle is a bigot and a massive piece of shit. He said he was Team TERF and he can fucking stay there with the other fascists.

Scottish Labour losing Hothersall is an incredibly funny and well deserved thing to happen.

Absolutely no votes for any candidate standing under a transphobic piece of shit manifesto. Bigots every single one of them.

do you have any idea how unbelievably transphobic you have to be to alienate duncan Hothersall from scottish labour

Some behind the scenes footage of Labour’s council election message.

A Twitter screenshot dated the 8th of April 2013 from Tony Gallagher, who was Daily Telegraph editor at the time. It reads: "Tony Gallagher @gallaghereditor We have closed comments on every #Thatcher story today - even our address to email tributes is filled with abuse"

happy anniversary!!!!!!! 🎉🎈🎉

Destroy America. It’s a failed state.

Trump is a fucking chump. Someone end all of our misery.

If we wake up and find Trump unleashed devastation, Labour’s silence will be absolutely damning.

If Trump has beyond hopefully de-escalated, it’s still damning.

In the face of genocide, what exactly is the point of the silent UK Prime Minister?

Also, Serge is a fucking dreadful singer.

It’s nice to see that the SNL UK cast has proved everyone’s prediction of “it’s going to be shite”. At least George Fouracres is good. Just stick him on the real show in the US and put the rest out of their misery.

HE IS RISEN! 🏳️‍🌈

A true queer icon 🏳️‍🌈 RIP queen.

The trans pride flag in the background with a white square in the middle of it. Within the white square, text reads: “International Transgender Day of Visibility March 31”

Happy trans day of visibility to all my trans siblings in the queer community. You will always be loved 🏳️‍⚧️ 🩵 🩷 🤍 🏳️‍⚧️

A photo of John Lithgow with a quote from an article by Samantha Riedel. The quote says: “John Lithgow says J.K. Rowling’s trans views have been ‘twisted and misrepresented’”.

I’ve been so unbelievably disappointed with John Lithgow this past year. Completely nuking your career to play a poorly written character in a kids’ show.

There is no moral way to consume the new HP series. It’s propaganda and needs to be removed entirely from pop culture.

Israel abolished the death penalty for ordinary crimes in 1954.

Today it was reintroduced, exclusively for Palestinians.

Fuck the statements of concern from the international community, where are the sanctions?

Glasgow’s Pride might actually be the most disappointing Pride organiser. If they aren’t pushing to platform genocide enablers and those who harm our community then they’re using every method to not pay queer artists. Using AI generated images is just the latest failure. Boo and also resign.

Don’t make me tap the sign. Its support trans people or Harry Potter can’t have both

I still can’t believe Joani Reid’s husband is an alleged Chinese spy and an Alba plant snuck into the number one spot on the Labour Lothian list and Anas Sarwar tried and failed to coup Starmer. What a month for the Scottish Labour Party.
